"Commit to being rich and pretty and don't worry about the inside. #worstadever," one woman wrote.

"Equinox... Thanks for the hot dudes... But the image of Equinox should not be about money or whatever this silly campaign is trying to say. Be classy and stick to giving people images that are motivating and inspiring. I'm a member and don't want anything to do with this campaign," another woman wrote.

"committosomething by not committing. Committing to not commit is simply...not committing. Do you have 11 year olds running your marketing campaign? Dig deep. Commit to an honorable marketing plan that actually reaches beyond the shallow rewards of money, a 12-pack, and orgies," another woman wrote. (The orgy reference has to do with a recent ad that featured an image depicting group sex, instructing clients to "commit to not committing" -- so long as they "#CommitToSomething.")

"I love Equinox, but...this ad makes this guy looks like his has narcissistic personality disorder. Which is really not attractive. But my main question is how did he get his pants off over his shoes? Anyone can get abs and money. But that is talent," another wrote.

Some of the comments are indeed positive and in awe of the model's abs. The rapidly expanding gym has an extremely loyal following who are unlikely to be swayed by its provocative imagery; in fact, that's part of the brand's overall tone.

Equinox had a bizarre response after furious customers complained about its latest ad

"Treat food and diet as a lifestyle choice," explains Misty. "You can find healthy food that tastes good but fuels you. What you put in your body is even more important than the activities it does."

"[Make exercise] a part of life," says the star. "Find a physical activity that works for your lifestyle and what you enjoy so that it doesn't feel like work. It's a moment in your day for you to escape and awaken those endorphins to carry on with an even brighter day."

"Our body is made up of more than 50% water, so consider that when you sweat and lose so much water, you have to replenish," she explains. "This is in addition to flushing out toxins. It's like keeping things moving."

Misty is motivated by "anything that brings me peace, pushes and inspires me." She explains further: "I find motivation in my own craziness of striving to be better. I also find motivation in our youth, the young dancers who I can set an example for and learn from."

"I can't function without [sleep]," she shares. "My body is my sole instrument, day in and day out. If it's not rested, it can't function in top form."

"Muscles need recovery time. There's no way around it," she assures. "Your mind does as well. In order to work at 100%, the body needs recovery time as well. We're not machines."
